    30:05 for 10k en route! Bloody hell.

    The title should read half-marathon, btw.

    Oh come on, give people benefit of the doubt. How much has she improved on her previous PB's....................... she went from 69:07 in June 2016 to 64:52 in April 2017, move on nothing to see here.

    That's a massive improvement considering it was world record from an unknown.


    I was not saying she was dirty, I was saying the iaaf/wada are off the ball here.

    "There was also another male runner from Italy who joined the group and ran with the ladies."

    Oh, the shame. Running with the ladies. What a slow coach.
